This started as a thread on LinkedIn, but I doubt this will get anyone’s eyes on it at the FDA, so I sent Dr. Prasad an email. I figured I’d do something more formal. Here’s what I wrote:

“Dear Dr. Prasad,

I’m sure you already know, but LLM techonologies have been rapidly deployed, and are being used accross many different disciplines. I recently came across a paper on LinkedIn that was alarming. People are using LLM technologies in the healthcare industry, and after investigation, the authors determined that information obtained on women’s health using LLM technologies had a failure rate at about 60%. This, I am afraid, might be the tip of the iceberg.

I’m wondering what the FDA is doing to regulate these technologies, which are giving false information about health. Not to say that these technologies can’t have a positive impact in the health care industry if properly evaluated, but I believe stricter evaluation need be applied to LLM technologies in the healthcare industry before released to the general population.

Kind regards,
